come and meet portugal

Two Portuguese train stations are among the most beautiful in the world according to a list compiled by the US publication Flavorwire. The Rossio station in Lisbon, and São Bento in Porto, are the representatives of Portugal, the only European country to put the two names chosen. In total, there are ten stations chosen as the most beautiful of the entire globe. The Portuguese stations appear alongside other compelling railway structures as the Atocha station in Madrid, Paris Gare du Nord or Grand Central Terminal, an icon of New York City. According to Claire Cottrell, list the author, the decision to highlight the stations due to the fact that they are to regain a prominent position as has happened with many other things - such as vinyl records or the Polaroids - they were relegated to second place in favor of what is now considered more modern. However, the stations of the railways are back and better than ever, writes Cottrell, adding that, therefore, it is time to have a look at some of the best railway stations that still remains standing.
